Your Way Too Early 2011 Top 10

[BrntO4Life]

why do people keep putting VT in their top 10??? they lose EVERYONE that matters, and the QB they will have next year is hit or miss...

As a cursory viewer of VT games, losing Tyrod Taylor may turn out to be a net positive.

Boise and TCU will suffer too many losses at skill positions(Dalton most notably) to crack the BCS again.

Nebraska is a little overrated. We lose Amukamara, Hagg, Allen, Helu Jr., Paul, McNeill, Henery AND Kunalic(very important special teams players) among others I forgot.

We lose a lot of experienced talent on defense. And a few veterans on offense, and our fucking excellent kicker/punter. First year in the B1G(god that felt weird typing) Ten people are little over anxious, and over confident. I think we have a rough season defensively.

Teams are always over rated, but I think and I may be wrong dont they get Ohio State while those guys are suspended. So that should be a win.

They face off after the suspension.

Looking at the other lists I can't think of anyone I really overlooked to put ahead of ND. Maybe a bounce back year from Texas, but some of these other teams in the top ten I feel ND is better than (ie Michigan State, Auburn, Virginia Tech.)

That's kind of my point though. You're overrating ND pretty drastically to have them be a preseason top 10. They have some pretty serious questions at qb regardless of how well Rees played. Floyd might not be back and while they were only a few plays away from being 11-2 I just don't see a Top 10 team when I look at them. I know its a trendy pick right now by some but I just don't see it.

Floyd is coming back. You can move Notre Dame to #1 now. :smug:

ok, they made a big deal of some team playing them while the guys are suspended. Maybe Mich St

Pre-season rankings? fuck that noise...

Postseason is where it's at....

I got South Carolina winning the NC :tiptoe:

 

[Sportsbuck]

I actually don't think Stanford is going to be as good as people are saying next year...

Someone want to explain the Alabama love? Trent Richardson will be 99% of their offense next season. Though they do get LSU in Tuscaloosa, where we only own them slightly less than we do in BR. :smug:

9 returning players on defense, Barron and Hightower specifically. Four offensive linemen return to I believe. A lot depends on how well McCarron does and who he is throwing to.
